Well what a year it has been for our newly appointed Student Council. They have achieved so much and for the first year in it's existence here in Scoil an Linbh Íosa, we are only too excited to see what the next years are going to have in store for us!

Yesterday, Wednesday 26th June was an emotional day in Scoil an Linbh Íosa as the boys and girls of sixth class bid a fond farewell to the school in which they have spent the last eight years of their lives in. On a glorious day in Prosperous, the class of 2019 said goodbye to their past teachers and the other students with so many happy memories.

What a week we had! We started our week with the annual 'Hit the Block'. This was followed on Tuesday by Junior Sports Day. On Wednesday we had novelty races and some great competition with the teachers. Thursday was the turn of the seniors for their sports day and the week ended on a high with a Danceathon. Check out our blog below for some highlights of an excellent week and the class blogs for photos of each class!

Scoil an Linbh Íosa had great success at the Cumann na mBunscol Cross Country meet today which was held in the Hawkfield Sport Complex in Newbridge. The school had entered both a boys and girls team to compete in a very tough 1200m race.
